Our school is more than just an educational institution; it is one of the cornerstones of the village community, where every child’s
growth is nurtured with care and commitment.
The school enjoys a good reputation in the community and as a consequence we have a rising role, and indeed are over-subscribed for the September 2025 intake.
Visitors frequently comment on what a happy school it is! The children are lively and well behaved. As a small school, we know every child as an
individual and have close and friendly relationships with parents. We pride ourselves on recognizing and cultivating the unique potential of each child, ensuring they receive personalised attention and support.
In the classroom, over the past two years, we have been building a solid foundation for children’s learning in the core national curriculum subjects, concentrating on developing excellent teaching practice in all lessons. This work needs to be continued.
The school is part of the Tilian Partnership whose visions and values are based around autonomy, integrity and partnership.
